As a “Mark Fan since 1985”, I am overjoyed at the fact that you’ve evolved into including your Own Family as opposed to your Radio Family.
I love hearing the recollections of Christmases Past from each never. The stories remind me of the happy times I enjoyed with my own kids growing up and they never get old.
Thank you for a job and a life well done.
Celebrate safely and joyfully as your dedicated listeners await your return with continued excitement into the New Year ahead!

Thompsons! First off, thank you all for sharing your lives with us. I am often a silent but grateful listener, but, this D vs. D really touched me. I am 38, and have an 8 year old daughter, and hearing Katie recall the times in the golf cart – and the smells that go along with the memories she has of those times – made me tear up. I hope that when my daughter is grown, I can have the same type of relationship with her, that all your kids have with you both – and that she thinks back fondly on her memories and can recall the smells of certain candles or the music that was playing in the background, and that it warms her heart – the way that Katie described her own memories. I wish you all a wonderful holiday – I know it will be great – because you will be together (even if not all at the same time)… Happy & healthy 2017 to all!

Great show and lists all. I agreed with 99% of Amy’s, 60% of Katies and about 40% of Lynda’s. Christmas Vacation has to be one of the few perfect Xmas movies IMO. My wife hates it so I get to watch it solo every year. Merry Xmas Thompson’s!

I have had the pleasure of listening to every Mark & Lynda podcast over the last few years. During that time Mark & Lynda have talked about how Amy can sing, a couple of years ago Mark had Amy on the telephone and he asked her to sing she said “no not over the phone I will sing next week when I get to Lake Norman and do it in the studio,” then when Amy got to the studio she said “I will not sing, you always taught me never to do anything for free.” On the show today Amy said “I would sing but I am on the phone and there is a delay,” I can hardly wait to hear what Amy’s next excuse will be the next time she is asked to sing.

I’ve had a rather rough week! Sometimes the holidays aren’t what you hope them to be. The first thing I think of doing when I’m having a bad day is listening to a podcast. Yesterday’s Daddy’s vs Daughters didn’t disappoint! I laughed, I cried & most importantly my mood changed from upset to happy! Thank you SO much Thompson family! I am forever grateful for you all!
